1967 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow on 2040-cars
Norwalk, Connecticut, United States
|
Rarely do Silver Shadows as original and as well cared for as
this one come on the market. This gorgeous car has just 56,000 original miles
and has been beautifully maintained its entire life. As evidence of that there
are copious receipts for the tens of thousands of dollars that have been lavished on it
over the years. For many years this car was owned and displayed by the esteemed Rolls
Royce Foundation in their museum as a quintessential example of the Silver
Shadow model. Finished in Brewster Green
with Parchment Connolly leather the body is razor straight. It has had a
documented repaint to the highest standard and still shows beautifully. This
car has absolutely no rust and to our knowledge has never suffered any damage whatsoever. The interior is 100% original and gorgeous. The leather
shows the patina of gentle use over these last 46, years. The woodwork is also
original and shows the typical , subtle aging of the clear coat. Carpets are
mint, headliner excellent… overall a really lovely interior. The engine compartment shows well and is all original, as is
the trunk area. The underside has never been detailed, rather it is original but
very tidy. Full disclosure: there is an issue with the car which is the
result of a design flaw at Rolls Royce back in the 1960’s. It was very common
for the cam bearings to wear prematurely, and that is the case with this car.
It runs perfectly well as is, but there is a slight noise from these
chronically worn bearings. Because of this issue we have placed what we feel is
a very fair reserve on the car.
We have been in the business of selling European car for 27
years and our reputation for quality
cars is unmatched. ( deGarmoLtd.com ) Please feel free to call with any
questions 203.852.1670. The car is located in Connecticut and it available for
inspection by appointment. Matt deGarmo |

Rolls-Royce celebrates Goodwood with Chicane edition Phantom Coupe
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Of all the automakers out there, perhaps none scream "race track" as quietly as Rolls-Royce. But the British luxury automaker has its home near the Goodwood Motor Circuit, and has honored that proximity with its latest special edition.
Called the Chicane, it's based on the Phantom Coupe and is upgraded with a series of tastefully motorsport-inspired details. It's painted in gunmetal grey with a matte black hood and windshield frame, with matching gunmetal wheels - a modern Rolls-Royce first - and a red interior decked out with carbon-fiber trim and a checkered flag motif that's repeated on the exterior coachline.
The special one-off was commissioned by the dealership in Dubai and was created by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke division. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
Rolls-Royce sketching out SUV for possible 'late 2017' release
Wed, 14 May 2014With each new story on the Rolls-Royce SUV, the Goodwood automaker comes off as more at ease with their reluctantly birthed yet necessary sport ute. Company design chief Giles Taylor told Autocar that his team is still "sketching to assess the viability of the concept," which to ours ears means they're trying to figure out if such a beast is even possible within the confines of the brand. If it is, Taylor says it will be "a shooting brake, not a crossover with a sloping roof. A proper SUV."
A different company source, unnamed, seems confident that Taylor's team will figure it out, telling the magazine it would start at 200,000 pounds ($335K US). However, that same source said the vehicle will be "a kind of Mercedes-GLK-plus-plus," which is a baffling description in several ways. More reasonable is the speculation that it will ride on Ghost, not Phantom, architecture and make its debut sometime around late 2017.
That Ghost platform is expected to take cues from the carbon, aluminum and steel bones that supported the BMW Vision Future Luxury concept shown at the Beijing Motor Show and destined for the 9 Series. Some of those tricks will also go into the next-generation Phantom, which Autocar says will come in 2017 and not 2020.
Rick Ross crashes Rolls-Royce in drive-by attempt [w/video]
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Rap star and exotic-car enthusiast, Rick Ross, had a double-close call on Monday morning, escaping harm in what appears to be an attempted drive-by shooting.
According to Fort Lauderdale Police, Ross was driving his 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost (pictured) with his girlfriend, Shateria Moragne-el, as a passenger at 5:00 AM on Monday. An unnamed gunman in another vehicle opened fire on Ross' car, causing the rapper to turn a corner, lose control of the vehicle and eventually crash into the wall of an apartment complex. Neither Ross nor Moragne-el was injured, despite reports that "dozens" of ammo casings were found at the crime scene.
Ross had been out celebrating his birthday on Sunday night; at nearby restaurant Floridian and a club called LIV in Miami Beach. Reports indicate that the restaurant was also the target of gunfire - some 15 shots that "sounded like they came from a high-powered rifle."
